Till death did us part
Always smiling from eye to eye,
Never ‘round me were you shy.
Everything was perfect in my life,
Hopefully someday I’d be your wife.
I love you from the bottom of my heart,
I knew our love had a head start.
Laughing and dancing and having some fun,
Before that man picked up a gun.
I held your hand as you held mine,
I could feel the trembling through your spine.
Tears continuously rolled down my face,
I can feel my heart begin to race.
Is this the end, is it all done?
It won’t be if he puts down that gun!
A loud bang deafens and paralyzes me,
“I only hope we are both all right.” I begin to plead.
But this is it; the end is here,
It’s too obvious that death is near.
You lay still on the ground,
I only hope that we are found.
Hands covered in blood from your chest,
I begin to pray and be sure you are blessed.
A deep gasp comes from your voice,
I have to scream, I have no choice.
You will be saved if I can try,
Oh, my god, I’m starting to cry.
Your hand comes to touch my hips,
As your last words escape your lips.
“I love you Ashley, and don’t ever forget it.”
Being with him, I will regret it.
Buried safe in the ground,
Have a good sleep, you’re safe, you’re sound.
Never again will you be hurt,
As long as you're sleeping in God’s dirt.
Why did you have to pay? What did you do wrong?
Now I can’t see you for oh, so long.
I know that night, you were being watched above you,
You still are, and don’t forget, I love you.
